    I've recently refilled my Lexmark Z753's "1" type cartridge, but the ink level still says it's low. Upon doing some research, I've discoverd there is a way the printer recognizes each cart, so you can't refill. (Those greedy jerks.) Any links to sites for bypassing this? Has anyone tried it? Any help is apreciated, thanks!

    There is a 'chip resetter' available for Epson cartridges which resets the chip in the ink cartridge to say that its full of ink but I cant seem to find one for the Lexmark printers.
    Try googling for it you may have better luck than me.

    No luck, at least for the "1" type cartridge. I can't believe this, the cartridge only does about 15-20 4x6 photos, I was hoping refilling would make this printer a "home studio" type deal, guess not. Lexmark sucks.
